Forecasts

Betty's Tiara (11/4), Final Straw (11/4), Banderas (9/2), Ilestdancingspirit (5/1), Little Dipper (13/2), Jumper Watt (7/1), Tree Top Tyson (8/1), At Mangan Bridge (25/1), Sea Thrift (150/1)

Those with hurdles form don't boast the most compelling of profiles so FINAL STRAW may well be up to the job on debut given the stable he represents. It's taken connections a while to ger Jumper Watt to the track following his point win but he's an interesting contender, with Betty's Tiara also one to consider.
